philosophy they apply our fans like attractive football let's check the football to us is playing the side of the of the other one and have a lot of ball position be creative and do attacking that's our philosophy because we think that's what kids like for winning is not the most important this style of football is the most important trick the beautiful football one of the clubs the recipe for success has always been the i x youth academy the breeding ground of dutch football has unearthed numerous stella talents such as the legendary york in croydon. mark of one boston. and slightly brahimi over the past decade or so it has become harder for ex to compete in the top european tournament with homegrown players being lured away by ritual leagues but the talent factory never stops producing excellent footballers we if a proud legacy players from us playing all over the world and that makes them

really feel good but there is always this sort of sadness and that we think that if the players would be with us one or two more years then they would even be better if they don't leave when they're seventeen eighteen but leave when they're twenty five we can develop them very good so it's good for the player and at least we have to let them go and that's no problem but we want to stay there we want them to stick along the way the club the traditions at the famed academy remain the same as they have been since the late ninety's sixty's when the dutch created the concept of total football i extract to keep their way of playing football recognizable attractive offensive minded and fast and always using three forward so the young where is already accustomed to the eye of style after establishing a club in south africa a nine hundred ninety nine the amsterdam outfit have set their sights on russia as a training camp using the best dutch coaches will be held next summer when he kilometers west of moscow with the prospect of opening a permanent i executed

a mean russia i'm a really big football fan and boring in amsterdam next to the stadium so it was a unique opportunity to get here and started this football academy the population of the netherlands is around seventeen million people just twelve million more than the russian capital moscow but the dutch can boast dozens of top class footballers playing across europe is healing and they have already proved dutch coaches can succeed with the russian players and if the dutch coaches can start working from the grassroots level then russian football stars could start training sooner rather than later content in our team. now the russian women's curling team clinch gold at the european championships with a six five victory over scotland their new trainer is swiss coach thomas lips and

as richard ample of late discovered lip service is working wonders. the disappointment of the two thousand and ten vancouver olympics seems a long way away for russia's women's curlers victory at the recent european championships has given them renewed confidence as bibi the reigning olympic gold medalist on their route to make sure ain't going to see that of our skin and a lot of the headlines for her displays and rightly so however their head coach thomas philips has also played a major part in getting his team to realize their potential. in the beginning to learn from. this test how do i mention how the game should be but also. what kind of people are there. we have spoken a lot together and i think the way that how to work with them and. it was really i think it's a question of didn't each other i think that the main point was that we have

confidence loops is originally from just one side judy and he's been involved in coding for most of his life and was more than happy to give a master class to russia's up and coming generation there's not much he misses about home as he spends around half the year in his native switzerland and he's continuing to go from strength to strength in his adopted country contend with helping russia with the first european women's curling gold since two thousand and six thomas lives is already busy preparing the next generation of the countries of the swiss is only been in the job for around six months or so he's enjoyed fantastic results and it's all bodes well for the two thousand and fourteen olympics just round the corner the big trip the european championships more very important is in reality a warm up to two thousand and fourteen soccer lympics the win will only heightened expectations but russia can get a first ever limpid curling medal however lips doesn't feel any extra pressure

pressure is wrong because raging means always. will be. afraid to execute no though . i'm proud of the team first of all well but we're regional gold that's one thing even when we go to get probably force a no medal ok people wouldn't be too happy. but i see the progress of the misdoings curling is continuing to going in popularity within russia with new rings popping up around the country while the men's team onto the same level as for women's at the moment things could change with continued investment how many generation already have plans to compete at the highest level by teenagers kareena and alina. just have to. show that. they can't. just but it it's always very interesting to hear things. of course it's great to have a. sense of this person such

a high level the next test for the senior squad will be the two thousand and thirteen world championships in riga in march but they'll look to build on their success at the europeans however the future is looking very bright as curling continues to develop in russia. boldly tonty moscow. time now for a short break but stay tuned for part two. do we speak your language or not a day in. the music programs and documentaries in spanish more matters to you breaking news a little turn to angles kittens stories. you hear. in troy all teach spanish find out more visit eye to eye. teeth.

london olympics some of russia's top with mick gymnasts held a special show class in moscow west fans met their idols and learned a few tricks michael craft reports. at this summer's london olympics rushes you again you come over was again the undisputed star of the rhythmic gymnastics arena winning the individual gold medal for a record breaking second straight games darted to meet three zero took silver while russia also claimed gold in the all round team event in a competition the country has dominated for the last twelve years but unlike many other sports the stars that lead the way are often secluded from the public and inaccessible to young fans something this inaugural event aims to stop those in class not just the but of course this show class is a fantastic thing firstly develop in our sport for the kids it's simpler and real to see their idols and stash the fallen and trying to teach them what we know sure not all of it will stick but will try to teach them the best we can ironically

rhythmic gymnastics has a more to stick approach than even artistic gymnastics itself combining elements of ballet gymnastics and dance while competitors perform with the hoop ball clubs and ribbon during their routines the sport demands an extremely light and flexible body meaning girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty three are the ones that usually excel many enthusiasts braved the minus twenty celsius conditions to get a chance to finally see the limbic stars up close. and a few former gymnasts showed off their skills allowing some kim sounds to mimic the every move so with the inaugural new year show class in rhythmic gymnastics it's no surprise that it's been a hit among young aspiring gymnasts but it's also one of the first of what she thinks for the girls to be able to meet their idols up close and possibly even get an autograph. but it's not only the fans that are taking full advantage of the up

close interaction the stars themselves often kept away from the public eye to focus on training and preparation are also only too happy to provide tips and inspiration to anybody youngster you know what i'm really enjoying the fact that they all like me that they remember me there's nothing more or less than children i see the drive and determination in their shining eyes so i'm having a lot of fun being here although this first ever show class was probably more of a meet and greet than a full on workshop it's hoped it will serve to improve youngsters as well as further promote the sport across the country even if they had to live with that in my view these kinds of events ike's true more helpful and need to be held more often because these girls watch and see and it's inspirational to them i remember given a girl and not to grow up a while back and them four years later she was performing with me so it does mean the world to them it's not often that you see massive events where both sides stars and fans alike seem equally thrills to meet each other yet with such

a wealth of in susie hasn't matched the already evident talent in the country this all bodes well for russia's chances of continuing success in rhythmic gymnastics at real twenty sixteen and beyond mark of genco r.t. moscow. two fighting talk in two thousand and five andrea loves a u.f.c. crown four years later and defeat a few other you have started a spiralling decline now twelve years after his last fight in moscow the belarusian was back but with modern yan has more. skills approved in victory but courage and heart are put to the test and defeat under lawsky has known it all claimed the ultimate fighting championship crown in

two thousand and five and being considered one of the best heavyweights in anime reaching his pinnacle in two thousand and nine when he took on the great father a million and go. and facing into a stadium no doubt. the downward spiral had begun and continued with three more hard to fit. most experts and fans thought the man known as pit bull was down. at last a lot of help but so yeah i fell down and. i was on top of mountains on top of the world and they wanted me you know that became the national white and after a while last fall fired some like in the iowa law school right here shook my hands the boys just to get a good fight the. music is the best flat out just the good fight that it's like for now let's all. this wise like you give me. it's whatever it means giving out

gave more and that is your. friend that this is where heart and courage come to the poor a lot ski has since been unbeaten in five bouts including the latest victory obama in my case it was yet another comeback the first bell in moscow for the bill are in twelve years and he marked the occasion with pre-fight masa plants in my family and my friend's son as they gave me they give me a lot the fact that she was a good mate. is a given me apart. for. myself i'm stronger. than a so have hold the right people the right that you know it's most the poor never read jepson entre made it very far without having some basic techniques that you. leave later on here. but it is very shortly here three are

here to change you just like i think so he has all the tools he's not just a matter in the right direction. arlovski he's only thirty three now still far from old or heavyweight still hungry and trained by one of the best coaches in the business but it really here is a shooting. war issue things like that are mostly claims he's changed a lot on his road to redemption his training his lifestyle his mind. though he spent almost an hour with the fans posing for photos and signing posters some things never change and all fall i think my my my my friend's a great one that is why i still. wish i was as well my friend

here i do with my three hundred or ski go zone although he's already passed the toughest test. robert for an unknown r.t. i'm moving on to the italian alps and the big name rock fest skiing event where a local favorite took the title from star hall the ted ligety untinged a record top prize climb gray reports. fountains of spectators packed the pagan ella ski resort in trentino has twenty olympic stars began the four round competition of giant slalom various obstacles along the course including an audi beneath the jump while rock bands pumped out the hit last year's winner and hot favorite ted ligety was fastest in all the rounds but to the crowd surprise crashed out on his final run they went ashore and he made one little mistake. that's about it so it goes i guess sometimes it's you know somebody else wants. you know i'm really glad it's not. that left

a way clear for other big names with norwegian olympic super g. champion aksel and spindle putting himself in contention but he was picked by local star out of planting but it was compatriot davida simone chello who out of the crowds posting the best time in the final round to clinch the title his first victory of any kind for almost seventy years. very yeah there's a morning but the magic of the dispute between laughter. is i believe. i'd like to push. every. i mean. with profit with. the phrase mark. so as the italian champion look forward to christmas seventy thousand euros better off the operate ski party really began up in the peaks of the italian alps colleen bray r.t.

briefly set up an unofficial world record during a preseason competition in calgary. every single team member has a spray chanst to succeed it so i am personally hoping to qualify for the five hundred and one thousand meter races plus there is plenty to be confident about where breaking world records so it will be simply depend on how good the ice is and our overall fitness levels now russia has an ace up its sleeve recruiting three time gold medal winner and five time overall world champion victor from south korea after he fell out with the south korean skating association although on fail to qualify for the twenty ten vancouver games he's since been training in russia after obtaining russian citizenship in order to compete in what's likely to be his last olympic foray at the sochi games. because i don't have any specific goals for sorts here other than we going to gold medal that's the only goal for any of the olympics

but in the run up to the games i'll be using the various international and domestic events to get myself better prepared meanwhile russia's coach frenchman sebastian cross is quietly confident his team can get a result from the upcoming world championships and is hoping for a podium finishes in sochi we had to actually stay with you there for the good from the beginning of the. so we hope and we try to make that they would be in good good shape for the next worker and searching in the force for watching can she. be targets for them for sure and back here in moscow such organizing committees president dmitry chernyshenko was on hand yet again to sign another partnership deal with a major sponsor bringing the total sponsorship for the winter olympics to a record high amount of the contract signed by this the sixth seed in one point three billion dollars and this is. a private fund so that means that we are going to win the games not use and private public money for years and private money
